Guild Wars 2

Have you guys noticed after the recent patch fix to greater marks and chilblains, that now chillblains shows the correct size before cast when all of the other marks Aoe targeting remains original/small size??

Why can’t they do this for the other marks and have fixed that bug at the same time? Honestly and it sucks to say but I now know they are rushing through these bug fixes (I know there’s a lot in game besides necro). For them to fix the Aoe ground targeting in chilblains in this patch but not fix the others…

probably the nature of the code behind the game where each skill will have its own file/structure/variables. The person who works at arena net who got this bug landed in his/her inbox will have only gone to that file and made the change to damage area and probably noticed that the target area didn’t match so he/she changed that too. they wouldn’t have the time or real authority to check the other skills, If they were not part of the same bug report.

Think it this way, they have this colossal list of bugs that need fixing, and what happened is that the bugs were submitted separately, and ended up apart in it, when the assigned programmers went over to it they fixed one of them, but didn’t ‘reach’ the others.

What it does tell, however, is like you said, they are rushing through it, and that the bug list is probably quite huge.

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation, makes a lot more sense, I kind of thought it was a necro team that knew the class fixing the bugs, same with other classes and the game bugs. I don’t really blame them for having to fix a lot of bugs quickly, but like I said I thought it was a necro team.

They may have a necro team, but its unlikely that they play the game/class enough to see a bigger picture. They will have internal testers which may or may not have unique classes to test. But it depends on how their bug report process works.

I thought the other marks already worked properly with Greater Marks? I think there’s still a bug with how Mark of Evasion interacts with Greater Marks but I haven’t noticed the weapon skills (other than Chilblains, up till now) having problems.

I believe the other marks work properly, but when casting you still see the smaller circle for targeting rather than the larger circle based on the trait. So targeting is more difficult, but when laid it is the right size.
